Kennemer

Kennemer - a large Frisian fort-city, located on the territory of Frisia, near the Wadden Sea. The fort was founded in the VIII century, the Franks. From 841 he passed under the independence of Frisia. The city from the year 860 was ruled by the nephew of King Rorik Hemmingsson, Hrodulf Haraldsson. Later passed to the Franks, and then to the Germans. In 1268 a major uprising occurred in the settlement, which was supported by many Dutch cities. In the 15th century, the settlement was deprived of many privileges for supporting the rebel “hooks”. In 1491-1492, an uprising against the German garrison again took place in Kennemer, after which Emperor Maximilian sent troops there and they destroyed the settlement.
